exemplar is a high band 6 response
when they have for example 3/4 that means a high band 3 or a ow band 4.... same with 4/5, 5/6 etc... thats why one number always appears twice... because once it shows a low one of that and then it shows a high one...
so 5/6 is a high band 5 or a low band 6
yeah i hope that makes sense

erm...full marks is full marks, no matter what its relative to
so if it was an essay, it scored 20/20 (or was it 15/15)

If you guys who do Transformations read the exemplar example from Bored of studies, you will realise how much os a BS it actually is...
Our teacher shows it to us and says "there is a level of sophistication here..."
If you read it the guy/girl just uses a bunch of big words, and does not analyse any of the themes in detail or depth!

If i had wrote that and handed it into my english teacher (who is hypocritical) she would say "You can't imply these things, you must specify"

mm..thats why I thought my own responses were better than those, and I only got 93 in that exam
but remember, u cant anylse everything into detail in such a short space...I guess the key to those responses is concise-ness

Thats not the problem for this guy/girl he/she wrote 15 pages!!
(even though the lines are pretty big)

It is so annoying why can't they give us three hours for English Adv?? I can write so much more!!
(i'm willing to sacrifice one hour from 2u Maths!!)
